Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.
